Carving Knives Reviews

The huge turkey was no problem to handle with my new Carving Set. And the knowledge that knife stays sharp forever made me double happy - more holidays to go...

For those of us who want everything to look perfect on the serving platter, I recommend this slicer. It's hollow grind gives you total control over the width of the slice, and its wide blade makes it easy to transport the meat from the cutting board. Plus, the high carbon steel gives you an edge that could easily be mistaken for a laser - forgive the cliche, but it finds its way though any meat as though it were butter.

I even carve turkey with this.

It's a nice-looking knife, but mine arrived quite dull -- won't even cut paper. And the "no-stain" steel blade took a stain on first use that I can't remove.

We're fond of this Henckels Int'l line made in Spain (make sure you're not looking at the horrid ones from China...). The handle has a clean smooth feel, with a nice weight to the overall knife that gives one good control. It did well this summer with London Broil, but we figured the T-Day turkey was the real test. No problem -- the white meat sliced cleanly and yet carving around the legs and so on also went well. While indeed the edge does not seem overly sharp, it nevertheless seems to cut meat rather effortlessly. We're quite pleased with this carver.
